zoom camera just a gimmick? - Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers

So I got the Razer 2 last week and I've just noticed that the second "zoom" camera doesn't seem to be working.
Did I get a dud or is it just a gimmick?

It works in the stock camera app sometimes. Sometimes it just freezes the app instead

Problem with using One and auto recorders like dailyroads voyager/autoguard blackbox

I just purchased the One and tried both dailyroads and autoguard black box. I notice that it gets REALLY choppy when it's dark out. This did not happen with my nexus 4.
I notice that when i'm in the htc camera app, the viewfinder is also choppy when it's dark out, but when i turn on video recording, it's smooth like butter.
It's almost like dailyvoyager and autoblackbox are recording from the camera viewfinder rather than going into the camera's recording mode to record video. Does anyone experience the same thing? Is there a fix?
Try VideoReg. I prefer it over the two you mentioned. I have noticed that often when it starts up the preview will not be automatically in focus for some reason, so go into the settings screen then back out and it works. The developer is getting a One and has a beta that makes the One's HDR video mode available. Should be some good stuff on the way in a month or two.

[Q] Extreme stutter on front camera

Anyone else experiencing this?
Back camera is fine, but on Google camera, stock camera, camera apps like Snapchat- incredibly laggy front camera. Like 1-2 fps. Video and picture mode. Tried HDR on and off. Starting a video recording will kick it back into normalcy, but as soon as it ends recording, the preview goes back into stuttering. On Snapchat, the recording is stuttered.
Im having the same issue

My back camera is great. But when it comes to using the front-facing camera its absolutely awful. A few frames per second and relatively delayed. Very grainy as well. I got much better quality on my s4....
Exactly! But then sometimes it's perfectly fine. Can't find any specific reason for it. I did notice that the stuttering improved when I was in a bright environment...? I'm perplexed. Never had anything like this happen with the S3 I was using.

I've noticed the same thing. Front camera works fine with lots of light but the FPS drops to **** as soon as it gets a bit dark. Not even too dark to see, just not super bright. I think it should be able to get fixed in a software update. Wishful thinking at least.
Wait till 5.0 drops we will probably have to just deal with it till then
On my Moto Maxx XT1225 i had the same issue.
On kitkat and even now that I'm trying soak lollipop, very very laggy
Only happens on low light conditions.

Severe camera issues

I've had issues with the camera since day one. Using apps such as Instagram. The video in zoomed in cropped. The video is so choppy and stops towards end. Even now using just the camera app the videos are extremely slow and choppy and over contrasted. Filming at night is impossible. I'm guessing I will have to wait for an update but it's absurd that I have this great phone with a camera that's useless. I've tried factory resets and different camera apps. No luck. Please help.
Is no one else having issues with the camera?

Front-Facing Camera Auto Focus issues during videos.

Hey, All,
I was shooting a video using the front-facing camera today and noticed something that I never had to deal with with my Pixel 2XL or my iPhone 7+.
During the recording, about every 25 seconds, the Camera would go out of focus for about 5 or 6 seconds and then go back into focus. It was just me talking on screen. No movement, no objects getting closer, no moving backrounds ether.
I tried it using the stock camera app as well as Open Camera. The auto focus issue happened during videos in both apps.
This is a deal breaker for me, so I'm hoping there's an easy fix.
Thanks so much in advance.

Autofocus issue on my Note9 with tele camera

Hi guys,
A couple of weeks ago I realized that my telephoto Note9 camera is behaving weird in Photo Mode.
When I switch the tele on (by zooming or by that little button) the focus is not clear and it looks like the focus module is working hard on the back on my phone. I can hear a constant vibration coming from the camera module.
This is not happening all the time.
It started to appear after I installed a SW update that brought in the night mode also.
This does not happen in Pro mode. In PRO mode all is fine, no noise, no autofocus issue with tele camera. Only in Photo mode.
I think it is a software bug.
Any idea?
